2006 Hummer H1 Alpha

Obituary

The Hummer H1, the father of the brand and the SUV made famous by the governator of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and by a couple of land wars in Iraq, will no longer be available to the public after this year. Sales of the ultra-wide, off-road-ready truck have faded to a trickle despite a recent upgrade to GM's 300-hp Duramax turbo-diesel. Although this original and most iconic Hummer is departing, the brand will continue to sell its H1-inspired SUVs — the H2 and H3. AM General, the company that builds the H1 for both the military and GM, will use the excess capacity to build more military-spec H1s.
